Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Everyone, I am looking for a handout, brochure, etc. that can be given to farmworkers that educates them about lightning safety. This could include fact sheets about the dangers of lightning, steps to take to prevent being struck by lightning when storms come, etc. I hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi Josh, The NAWS has been asking about barriers to health care since 1993. A version of the questionnaire with these questions should be on the NAWS web site at DOL http://www.doleta.gov/agworker/naws.cfm We are currently reviewing and revising the questions slightly, so if you are interested in them, let me know and I will send the updated versions when we have them. The data from the questions are available up through 2006 in public access data on that same web site. Contact me if you want already calculated tables with results. Gabbard Ph.D. Aguirre Divison, JBS International 555 Airport Boulevard, Suite 400 Burlingame CA 94010 650-373-4949 (voice) 650-745-1179 (fax) From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Josh Shepherd Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 7:25 AM To: Subject: [ ] Question Hello Everyone, I am looking for information on barriers to health care access for farmworkers. Specifically, any studies that have been conducted or survey instruments that have been created assessing farmworker access to health care. Thanks.

Thanks Josh Shepherd National Center For Farmworker Health Resource Center Manager (512) 312-5463 -----Original Message----- From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Robin Lewy Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 1:10 PM To: Subject: Re: [ ] Question We carried out a fairly comprehensive Hispanic Health Assessment in Lake County, FL (Central Florida) for the Puentes Para La Vida/Lake County Community Health Worker Program. Of the 169 people surveyed in the 76 questions survey (45% open ended). 28% reported working in the green industry. We gathered information on health status and barriers to accessing care. Might this be of assistance?
